On Governor’s Island, an ambitious program works to restore once-bountiful oysters and the environmental benefits they bring to New York Harbor. Take Back the Harbor highlights students at a remarkable public high school where environmental stewardship is part of the curriculum.

The film, directed by Kristi Jacobson and Roger Ross Williams, had its World Premiere at DOC NYC in 2018. It is also the recipient of the 2019 Best Young Adult Film at International Wildlife Film Festival.
